| Product | P | Q | R | S | T |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit S.P. | 100 | 50 | 40 | 60 | 60 |
Correct Answer :
50
Solution :
The correct answer is 50.
Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to find the quantity of product P sold on that day.
From the table, the unit selling price (S.P.) for each product is given as follows:
- Product P: 100
- Product Q: 50
- Product R: 40
- Product S: 60
- Product T: 60
Let the quantities of products P, Q, R, S, and T sold on that day be , , , , and respectively.
We are given that the total quantity of items sold is 250:
We are also given the relationships between the quantities of Q, R, S, and T:
(i) Quantity of S = 2 × T ⇒
(ii) Quantity of R = 3 × T ⇒
(iii) Quantity of Q = 4 × T ⇒
Substituting these relations into the total quantity equation, we get:
--- (Equation 1)
Next, we use the information about the average selling price of 60 for the 250 items. The total revenue is:
Total Revenue = Average Selling Price × Total Quantity
Total Revenue =
We can write the equation for total revenue using the unit prices from the table:
Substitute , , and in terms of into the revenue equation:
Dividing the entire equation by 100 simplifies it to:
--- (Equation 2)
Now, we have a system of two linear equations:
1)
2)
Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1:
Substitute back into Equation 2 to find :
Thus, the quantity of product P sold on that day is 50.
